Today we will talk about the battle of Lepanto. On October 7, 1571 in the Gulf of Patras, near the Greek city of Naupactus, a battle took place between the Holy League (a Catholic coalition organized by Pope Pius V, formed by the Spanish Empire, the Papal States, the Republic of Venice, the Order of Malta, the Republic of Genoa and the Duchy of Savoy) and the Ottoman Empire.

It was so great that only World War I could be compared to it.

Would Europe be different today if that battle had had a different ending? I read you!
